    About this ebook

    On the north west tip of the Isle of Mull, Castle Haunn faces a bleak Yuletide. Their strawberry juice has run out and they have lost the extra delivery to keep their power cells going. The supply ship was lost in a storm. No fresh food, no presents, and even worse, no heat. It's going to be a cold, hungry holiday.

    Young Dylan is despatched to take a message to the mainland calling for help. His twin brother Dougall tries to find a solution to their problem, using raspberry juice and any sources of different metals he can find. The Laird's wife hasn't missed her silver necklace... yet!

    On the way back from his errand, Dylan falls into a trap. He discovers the cause of the missing strawberry juice, and more trouble than he ever imagined!

    Will the loveable twins survive their troubles? Will it be a sad and lonely Yuletide?

    Set in the same world as The Princelings of the East series, this book introduces Dylan and Dougall, who will become the Princelings of the North. The story also involves the Prince of Buckmore and Prince Engineer George of Marsh, who will be well known to regular readers, but no prior knowledge of the series is needed - except to know that all the characters are guinea pigs. "A feudal world with advanced technology, populated by guinea pigs" as someone described it.

    Dylan's Yuletide Journey is a short chapter ebook (7 chapters, c7,000 words) for Middle Grade readers aged 8 and upwards. As usual with Jemima's books, each chapter has a black and white illustration.

    Author

    Jemima Pett

    Jemima Pett has been living in a world of her own for many years. Writing stories since she was eight, drawing maps of fantasy islands with train systems and timetables at ten. Unfortunately no-one wanted a fantasy island designer, so she tried a few careers, getting great experiences in business, environmental research and social work. She finally got back to building her own worlds, and wrote about them. Her business background enabled her to become an independent author, responsible for her own publications.Her first series, the Princelings of the East, mystery adventures for advanced readers set in a world of tunnels and castles entirely populated by guinea pigs, is now complete. The tenth and final book, Princelings Revolution, came out in October 2020. Jemima does chapter illustrations for these. She has also edited two volumes of Christmas stories for young readers, the BookElves Anthologies, and her father's memoirs White Water Landings, about the Imperial Airways flying boat service in Africa. She has compiled four collections of flash fiction tales, publishing in the first half of 2021. She is now writing the third in her science fiction series set in the Viridian System, in which the aliens include sentient trees.Jemima lived in a village in Norfolk with her guinea pigs, the first of whom, Fred, George, Victor and Hugo, provided the inspiration for her first stories, The Princelings of the East. She is now living in Hampshire, writing science fiction for grown-ups, hatching plans for a new series, and writing more short stories for anthologies.
